1999 1.4CL - Help on TDC for Cambelt Change

Featured Replies

Started stripping down the RHS end of the engine tonight, ready to change the cambelt. But when setting to TDC, it doesn't seem to line up as the Haynes manual states it should.

 

I have aligned the chamfered tooth on the crank pulley with the mark on the engine casing

,but when I do this, the punch mark on the camshaft pulley is not in line with the moulded bit on the inner cover.

The engine runs fine, but not sure how to proceed.  When I line up the camshaft pulley correctly, the chamfered tooth on the crank pulley aligns with the other rib in the second photo.

  • Is this the rib I should be using?
  • Do I leave it as is?
  • Do I line up the marks correctly before putting the new belt on? 

Many thanks.

Your using the 16v position on the crank pulley if you look closely it says 4V the other rib should say 2V but here's the info from the dealer manual 6N2 Petrol 8V Cambelt RR.doc

Thanks Nige,

 

I did not notice the 2V & 4V on the engine.  Zooming in on my photo, the markings can be clearly seen.
